ART – Supergirl Color Study

Painted using the Android Sketchbook Pro App on my Wacom Cintiq Hybrid. It was a different experience than doing these studies in Photoshop.

I don’t like how it turned out all that much.  I think it was the brush I was using.  At first I wanted one with texture and bristles.  But it turned out to be too “rough.”

The study could only be exported at a low resolution as well, which is something I don’t like about the Sketchbook Pro App.  Otherwise it’s a great App.  I think next time I’ll try using a more Photoshop like digital brush.

This time around I learned I needed to practice skin in bright light a lot more.  I also need to watch my proportions when doing these studies.

I was trying to do that multiple colors within one value thing I wrote about last week.  Especially on the torso where there was a lot of skin.  My version turned out darker than the source material version.  I need to do a better job of picking the correct colors next time.

Also I need to make sure I’m simplifying what I’m painting into much simpler shapes so I don’t get lost in the details.

Because of the Holidays (Christmas) it was a bit harder to get more than one color study done.  I really need more practice though.
